A 69 year old Dutch Motivational Speaker, has fought to legally change his age so that he may have a better chance in the dating scene.
Emile Ratelband informed the court that he felt 20 years younger and should therefore legally be able to change his age, a request that was rejected by the court in the Netherlands.
The court ruled that given age is closely linked with the legal system and legal rites of passage, affording people the opportunity to change their age would set a dangerous precedent.
